Salutations
All!
Ashford in the Water, Derbyshire |
Great Langston, Derbyshire |
I have recently
found out about a procession of twelve headless men that carry an empty coffin
down Shady Lane at dusk. The lane itself runs from Great Longstone to
Ashford-in-the-Water in Derbyshire. It is thought that empty coffins in a
ghostly funeral procession were an omen of death. The coffin is implied by the
spirits to be for the person that witnesses the terrifying event.
Renishaw Hall, Derbyshire |
I found this
curious, especially as an empty coffin had been found in Renishaw Hall in 1895
between the ground floor and first floor during a stage of remodelling. This
coffin had been nailed shut and when curious builders, servants and owners had
opened it, they only found the imprint of a body within. Could these strange
incidents be related?
